I have a family of 5 that move around one of the ponds I manage. They come in from downstream from somewhere. I have effectively given up on the pond. Cal F and G won't do anything unless they stay at least 7 days. And they are a protected species so can't blast them. They will catch all of the fish within a few days. There are some photos on the net of catfish still alive with half of thier heads chewed off. Sometimes they just take a bite or two and play with the carcass. They eat everything, ducks, crawdads, every kind of fish. I don't know what is left as they just appeared a few months back, stay a few days then leave. I imagine the gambusia are all that remains, maybe some small frogs. They even killed a bunch of ducks. I planted a dozen full growns turtles and made an island for them. A resident got a photo of them basking on turtle island, how cute. I informed management I was done with the pond, nothing I can do, nothing.
